The perfect winter meal
Carrot soup is the perfect option for when you want something creamy and comforting, but not super heavy. This recipe adds garlic and ginger for some immune boosting benefits and Vitality Extra-Virgin Olive Oil for nourishing flavor!
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Vitality Extra-Virgin Olive Oil; plus additional for drizzle
- 1 shallot
- ½ tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp fresh minced ginger
- 2 lbs carrots; washed, peeled, and chopped
- 3 cups bone broth of choice
- Sea salt & fresh cracked black pepper; to taste
- Optional toppings: date syrup (or honey!) and pistachios
Instructions:
- Over medium heat, warm 2 tbsp Vitality olive oil in a stock pot. Add chopped carrots, minced ginger, minced garlic, & chopped shallot. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes.
- Add bone broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to low-medium. Allow to simmer covered until carrots are tender; approximately 30 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Blend smooth using an immersion blender.
